Why Should We Praise God With Our Whole Heart? (Psalm 111) | Daily Devotional & Bible Study

When we see God as Creator, it humbles us to realize that He chose us and loves us as His creation. Today in Psalm 111 we join the psalmist in praising God with our whole hearts. We look at His great works and what they tell us about who He is.

"Great are the works of the LORD; They are studied by all who delight in them." (Psalm 111:2)
